Introduction
The sacral chakra is worth studding and experimenting, as it is mostly the one which shows complications when we’ve just started our spiritual journey. In this article, I will try and give tips which some truth seekers would wish they have known earlier in the path. Because so much of what we expect in spirituality, depends on a healthy functionality of the sacral chakra. This post aim to suggest a stable, healthy and quick development of the sacral chakra.

In my earlier post titled the 'DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROOT CHAKRA', I mentioned that 'the root chakra role is to basically push us to stay alive, by making us think of the basic needs of live: Money, Food, health, home.' So with the root chakra, nature wants us to stay alive, but with the sacral chakra it wants us to enjoy life. The root and the sacral chakra are great sources of energies without which we would all have left earth few seconds after birth.

How does the sacral chakra manifests.
The root chakra is the first chakra which begins to work on the child between 1 and 7 years old. That root chakra will fill the child with lots of energies. The child is filled with energies of self survival, the whole life of the little child turns around eating, sleeping, moving (playing), the sense of protection which actually gives him the fear of all sorts of things, ghost, fire, falls, loneliness etc. Then from around 8 years old the child starts experiencing the energies the sacral chakras more and more. From 14 years old, the sacral chakra is fully active, and the child is exposed to stronger influences of the state of sacral chakra. The 14 years old now sees the world a bit differently, as he discovers and experiences pleasures, all sorts of pleasures for which the strongest of all is the sexual pleasure. The energy is stronger than him/her and so the boy is carried, commanded by the sexual pleasure, now the child takes nobody else orders but his sexual energies orders. Even his own parents struggles to talk him/her out of certain actions. . Yeah it is normal, we've all know something or tow about it, don't we?

The sacral chakra is the answer to the questions: Are you feeling happy or unhappy, in a good mood or bad mood. Do you feel you don't have enough sexual pleasure
Well, the energies of all sorts of pleasures is in our sacral chakra. The strongest energy of pleasures is of Orange color. The quality of this energy is responsible of our good or bad mood, of our happiness and unhappiness in general. This chakra is on us so we can keep enjoying life, and reproducing ourselves, I mean continuing giving birth. When it is functioning so well, it will make you enjoy everything in life so you never have to think of quitting life (dying). This another plan of nature so we can stick to life. As in the plan of nature, humanity is expected to evolve and better his quality of life to reach the spiritual type of life and the life of divinities. And so the orange color influences us to look for pleasures and to enjoy ourselves. This is a spychic food for our astral body. Orange empowers our desires and emotions more than any other colors.

Just like with the physical body, our astral body (emotions and desires) may be hungry or have a lack of appetite, or eaten enough to the point you don't feel the necessity of eating any more. When our astral body is hungry, it will provoke the desire to have pleasures, you will instinctively want to do the things which gives you satisfactions, pleasures or joy. You may therefore be tempted to drink that killer beer you had last time , to sleep with that man or woman for whom you remember having had great fun last time, or it will make you want to go out there to look for something which can give you some pleasure. So you should know when your sacral chakra is runing out of orange energies, because you will then start to feel bored, you will want to do something to make yourself happy.

It is better not to ignore that feeling, that urge, that warning feeling, but to rather do something to build up some good emotions for your sacral chakra. The best method anyone can use for fill the sacral chakra with orange energy, is to listen to beautiful music. Good music should put you into great emotions, emotions of happiness. It is therefore a very good practice to create a playlist of the music you love the most. List the songs you remember have set you into good emotions in the past, and listen to some of them at least once a day to ensure that your sacral chakra has gotten his energy. In fact you can also choose to do any activity which gives you joy, whether it is watching a nice movie, going for a walk by the river, reading a nice inspiring book. Anything which makes you happy. But anyone who can observe this chakra will tell you what a huge stomach it is. You will notice that in general you want more and more joy. The moment you were watching the nice movie, you felt good, but soon after the movie, you want more joy feeling and there you go looking for the next thing to give you joy. That's because the sacral chakra needs a very powerful emotion. Until it is filled, the sacral chakra will keep requiring for more emotional energies. The only powerful energy which fills the sacral chakra in a complete way is the emotions produced by the sublimated sexual energy. That's why the practice of the sexual energy sublimation completes you, after such a practice, you won't need any more pleasure for quite some time. I will get back to the sexual energy later in this thread.

Know the state of your sacral chakra
The sacral chakra makes sure that we enjoy life, and it warns us when we are not doing anything to enjoy it. When this chakra is runs out of petral (orange energy), it makes you feel bored, nothing interests you anymore, you lose interests in your job, your loving partner, your daily activities, even your spiritual studies, everything. You may even feel like wanting to just die, to end your life. Yes many cases of suicide comes from a malfunctioning of this chackra, I mean that is when it is running low, when there is not enough good quality of orange energies. When you feel that life has become bitter, when you feel like nothing interest you no more, know that it is your sacral chakra the problem. Stimulate it a bit with the orange color energy, and you will soon be back on your feet. Don't let it run out of the orange energy to avoid all the bitterness of life.

When this chakra is working correctly, you feel happy, you are joyful, you are easy to laugh, easy to take a joke, and bad criticism don't put you down easily. You are so filled with orange that all the bad emotions people may have at school, in your work place, at home or anywhere else don't affect you much. You don't feel the need to go out there to get more pleasure because you are already filled. But if it happens to run too fast, it pushes the person to wanting to have more pleasure than needed. This is what has pushed some people to an excess of libido (a libido way out of the ordinary), to raping, to pedophilia, to an abusive relationships, to all sorts of related crimes. But you understand also that the solution to such problems is still the sacral chakra. By balancing the orange energy in you, everything comes back to normal.

All those emotions we have daily are seen as colors in our aura by the clairvoyant. When for example we get angry, a dark red is shows in our aura ( telling the state of our astral body), if you feel joy, peace, happy, then a clear orange shows in your aura. If you become jealous a dark green shows in your aura. It is therefore important to note that all emotions are different types of energies. You can provoke an emotion by exposing yourself to the corresponding color. For example, if you want to provoke the feeling of security and courage, you can lighten red lamps or simply visualize that you are in a room of red colors, image your whole body is red. But if you want to awake great emotion of joy or pleasures, you will use orange. Another method which produces those colors of energy for long term results, is the practice of virtues. Virtues, moral qualities are beautiful colors. I will elaborate a little more about virtues in my next post about the 'DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLEXUS SOLAR'.

Sacral chakra energy regenerates, gives life and drives life
The sacral chakra plays a fundamental role in all humans life. Its energy drives us. Many of our decisions and choices turn around our desires and emotions We go towards the things we like, we fight or run away from the things we don't like. The foundation of our life is love. Happiness and unhappiness are nothing but two different manifestations of LOVE. Happiness is Love and unhappiness is lack of LOVE. We all want to feel happy, then we all want LOVE.

Think about it for second, everything we do in life is so we may get to experience happiness. We go to work so we may get money to satisfy ourselves, to feel good. We make love or drink or smoke so we can feel good. We pray, meditate or do any activity for the same core reason : Happiness, Love. The religious person prays so that God can satisfy his/her desires; through that satisfaction we feel Love. The mystic meditates so he/she can provoke a spiritual state of peace and joy. That happiness we are all looking for in different directions is nothing but different versions of the same thing 'LOVE'. And complete love is actually what we may call God, the universal energy, the nature supra consciousness or whatever you may prefer to call it.

Because God is happiness, some look for God in beer, some others in sex, some others in meditations, or in prayers etc.
Because all those things give some kind of happiness, then we may say that God is in all those things. Yes God is in the alcohol, in the sex, in drugs, in all joyful activities. But the fact that the pleasure we get in those things doesn't last long, is enough proof that it is not a perfect pleasure, it is not true happiness, therefore it is not God entirely. God is rather in the most permanent and strongest joy. Now notice that most pleasures we experience in our lives are either weak or short, or both (weak and short). Of all emotions and desires, the sexual pleasure is the closest to the universal energy in terms of its strength. that's because there is no stronger force on earth than the sexual energy.

The sexual Energy
Now because everybody wants to feel a bit of God (happiness), the closest we can get is the sexual feelings through what is commonly called orgasm. The sexual pleasure is indeed the strongest pleasure we can find around, but in terms of duration (how long it lasts), it is still far from being a permanent pleasure. For lasting only few seconds for most humans. Although some initiates have come to make that pleasure last beyond ordinary time, through a process called sexual energy sublimation. The pleasure has turned into what should be fairly called SPIRITUAL JOY, ecstasy.

The initiates studied the sexual energy and experimented around it to see if it was possible to get a further, closer to God from the sexual energy. They found out that it is actually possible to stretch the duration of orgasm in order to build a close to more permanent and strongest possible energy. The initiate teaches that the sexual energy doesn't only create life on earth, but it also creates lives in the invisible worlds. That same energy which created invisible creatures, created and develops all of our invisible bodies ( astral body, mental body etc.). Yes Love energy is the foundation.

The initiate uses this energy to give life to his invisible bodies. You will probably question how? well, Instead of wasting the sexual energy through ejaculations, he/she rather take that sexual energy present in the seminal liquid and move it towards the head. By using some special breathing and visualization Technics, the initiates brings the sexual energy to the head, to be used for a spiritual work.The sublimated energy is technically called the "OJAS", when this latter constantly Waters the head, it begins to give life to the 3rd ear (the throat chakra), the 3rd eye (the before last chakra) and the 3rd mouth (the crown chakra). This change doesn't happen over night, however important changes can already be noticed after few weeks of practice. Glowing eyes, constant body energies, inspirations during meditations, sudden involuntary astral projections during sleep.

It naturally would take billion years to get satisfying results from the chakras of the head. But thanks to the power of the sacral chakra (its strongest energy: the sexual energy), it is possible to achieve in a life time what nature has planed for us in billion years in the future. We may experience an intense spirituality soon, as our spiritual ear soon opens so we can hear the wisdom of God, and become wise. Our spiritual eye opens soon so can we can see the beauty of God, to become clairvoyants. And our spiritual mouth opens soon so we can communicate with the divine and link mankind with the spiritual world with the power of the word.

How does sexual energy builds up?
The sexual energy naturally gets build up in us every few days or weeks. You don't see it, but you can feel it. NO You can't miss it. It manifests as the sexual pleasure. It is so strong and burning that you feel forced to want to let it out. It will push you to either have sexual intercourse or masturbation. It travels together with the seminal liquid in the sex organs of man and woman. So when we let that liquid out, the sexual energy is also out all together. And when it is all out, the sacral chakra empties then you soon are pushed to have multiple sex to try and fill the sacral chakra with the strong sexual energies. There you go filling and quickly emptying the sacral chakra again and again.

During sex, man and woman build a sexual energy which fills theirs sacral chakra. They fill complete until they waste it all quickly again though ejaculation. Then it won't be long before the couple wants to repeat the experience to try and fill themselves again, as the sacral chakra will be complaining, requesting some strong orange energies. The more we ejaculate, the more we empty and so the more we want sex.However should we learn to contain that liquid, the sexual energy builds up in the sacral chakra. With its power of giving life and regenerating, you will feel and look younger, manifest a great personal magnetism, and a good health, because this orange energy renews your bodies, it actually cures your organs. In the past, Alchemy talked about 'Elixir of Immortality' to refer to the sexual energy. Because indeed, thanks to the proper use of sexual energy, a human may increase his life span, and may quickly awaken his immortal subtle bodies (causal, boudic and atmic bodies).

What does it mean? It means that ejaculation is the perfect way of loosing the precious orange energy which the sacral chakra needs, and which accelerates the development of the chakras of the head. Notice that I'm talking against the idea of ejaculation, not the sexual intercourse or orgasm; These latter don't waste our sexual energies, and surprisingly they even build our sexual energies highly. Tantric disciples have proven that that orgasm and ejaculation can be separated. This is so that a loving couple can engage into sexual intercourse, and still get the same result as the one who is completely abstaining from sex.

Nowadays, you will find religious people practicing 'Abstinence', not knowing that, that practice is in fact based on the ancient knowledge of the sacral chakra. The core reason for Abstinence practice is so that the person doesn't waste his orange energies through sex, but to rather contain it and move it towards the head. The religious person feels more spiritual as long as he/she kept his sexual energies, because it is true and you might have verified that, once you have wasted that energy, you don't feel like praying or meditating for a quite a while, because you kind of feel ashamed, demotivated, lack of interest in spiritual matters. This is because in that energy is the petrol which fire us towards a more intense spiritual life.

But Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not suggesting to no longer give birth or to not make love any more. Who am I anyway to tell you what you must do with your sexual life . Anyway if you understand me wrong, it is probably the end of the human race . Let;s not make it happen yet. . We are not immortals yet, are we? , besides I might need a couple a give birth to me in the future for my possible next incarnation .

What I'm rather suggesting to people who are already into an intense ordinary sex life is an orgasm without ejaculation sex. Is it possible and safe? yes it is. However it is preferable to only waste some sexual energy only when we are decided and ready to give birth. Besides, the official science will confirm that it doesn't take all our human seminal liquid to create a human being. And the esoteric science confirms that it doesn't take all of our orange energy to matter to a soul. So a bit of orange economy is necessary to boost ones development. This practice is not new but as old as tantra. Your own research will inform you more.

One could simply join the monks of Asia wearing the orange cloths (to balance the sexual energy) and restricting himself from the world to avoid being tempted to the waste the sexual energy. But I also know it is possible with the knowledge of the orgasm without ejaculation sex, one can live his/her life among humans and still make as much and even greater process as the monk in the monasteries. It is not compulsory to practice the sexual energy sublimation in his/her spiritual life, as this is a personal decision based on how far and quick you want to move.

One can then simply stick to the normal flow of life. Let nature build up your sexual energy through time (generally in few weeks or so) as long as you engage in some spiritual activities. Understand that if someone learns to constantly meditate and pray properly, he/she can come to accumulate an intense energy equal to the sexual energy vibrations. This is how some religious after having spend a lot of time into prayers have found themselves being tempted to have sex or to masturbate. They complain and say that they are tempted by the devil . Well who else to blame when we consider the sexual energy as a bad thing "God, God, I'm praying to you everyday, why don't you protect me from evil, protect me from the temptations" .

Misconceptions of the sexual intercourse
There are many misconceptions around sexual intercourse. Many spiritualist who are not aware of the sacral chakra demands, and the importance of the sexual energy, think of sex as a really bad thing. As for religious people, this is seen as one of the worse sin, and an act of impurity . Well, if you ask me, I tell you based on the esoteric science, I say unless one goes and have sex anyhow with anyone, to have a sexual intercourse is not a problem in a spiritual life, and never has been. Ejaculation has always been is the problem.

But Yet again, if someone is not into the spiritual life, why should he abstain from ejaculating. This latter wouldn't know what to do with that strong energy being build up in him, if he keeps it, it will end up burning himself. Since he has no higher purpose, that energy will not be sublimated, and it won't reach the head. It is better for ordinary persons to not abstain from ejaculations and live their normal lives.

If some great spiritual masters decided to not get married, it is not because they don't like Women or Men. They have a human side just like ours, but they are so filled with a great amount of orange energy that they don't need women (or men) help them to generate that energy in them. Plus all the complications involved for being in a relationship is just too much distraction for them since they have the world and the universe complications to better deal with. Some masters however do get married and have children without loosing one bit of their spiritual level. That's because they know how to work with the sexual energy alone or with a partner.

Conclusion
Someone who knows how to feed his sacral chakra with the strongest of energies, which are the sexual energies can accumulate enough orange energies for his sacral chakra. This latter will reveal his true spiritual powers. The orange energy in the sacral chakra purifies and cures our physica body; And vitalize our astral body, so one can astral project consciously during sleep or meditation in order to go learn into the invisible world. This sacral chakra energy increases our body magnetism, therefore the power to cure oneself and others. The sacral chakra is fed in with the orange energy. This happens every time we are satisfied. Remember that this chakra needs good emotions, otherwise it puts you in all sorts of bad mood, and will make you sick, troubled and frustrated. When this chakra is out of order, you could look horrible, old and unhappy. So as long as you feed yourself with great emotions or satisfies your wish and your promises, and your desires, the orange energy will keep flowing in your chakra. Although the sexual energy is the only strongest rich energy which can completely satisfy the sacral chakra, we can still build up enough energy to try and equal the sexual energy, by engaging in different constructive activities and spiritual exercises which gives us good feelings; the more good feelings of joy we have through meditations, payers, reading... the more our sacral chakra accumulate the orange energy it needs. Finally . A daily simple practical method is to get into the habit of listening to music at least once a day. In the hope that this post has giving the necessary information to work with the sacral chakra, I may stop here.

A meditation is a trip to the space between the sun and earth. Where there is No days no nights, no noise, no rain, no wind, no earth force of attraction, but just peace, just light, just silence, just freedom. Would you Join me in this trip?

I’m coming back to this thread to mention an important piece of information for those who would engage in a building up the orange energies in them. This practice although it brings so much growth, so much quick success, it also has its own inconveniences.

Anyone who has done some abstinence for a long period will notice how disturbing the experience can become physically and psychically. This disturbance will occur especially when we don’t know how to make the accumulated orange energies. After a long time of abstinence, the stock of orange energies will grow in the second chakra. The person feels a tension in that area. His/her libido is likely to grow a bit more, as those energies will look for ways to express themselves. This is how you know that too many energies are stuck in your 2nd chakra. First you feel a sort of Fever. Yes, your body will warm up, you will start burning, to the point of thinking that you are getting really sick. But this is caused by no microbes, this is rather your physical body being pumped with way too much etheric energies than usual. For some people it will only take 2 or 3 weeks of abstinence to start feeling that fever sensation, some others will only start feeling the fever after 6 weeks of abstinence. But it could also only take 2 hours of semen retention during sex to feel the Fever. Secondly the Fever will sometimes be accompanied with strong headaches. Third, you might not feel like eating, because you will constantly be energized. Insomnia is another thing you are likely to get at night.

The nice thing is maybe you will always be full of energies, you will notice that you are quick to respond. Your brain works a little faster, so you will sometimes find yourself answering to a questions so soon as someone asks. You have no problem to stand up and do what is in your mind. Like you think of going to the mall to buy something, and you are already standing to drive or walk there.

The bad effects of all this is due to the fact of not knowing how to use the gained stock of orange energies in the sacral chakra. The energies must be used and simply not be stuck in the sacral chakra.

This orange energy should be taken like the substance (the water) which the tree builds at the roots. Everybody knows that water from the roots of the tree makes doesn’t stay in the roots, but moves up along the trunk then to the branches and the leaves where it will allow the creating fruits. In the same way, the orange energy of the sacral chakra must be taken up along the spine up to the brain where it will allow the development of the 3rd ear (throat chakra), the 3rd eye and the 3rd mouth (crown chakra).

In the Asiatic philosophy this orange energies of the sacral chakra is called chi and ki. It is believed to be the energies which gives life. The proper use of this energy rejuvenate the whole being. It is even the secret behind the alchemy theory of the Elixir of immortal life.

So to avoid all the trouble which the retention of semen can cause. It is important to know how to use that energy. By doing some physical activities you are using a bit of that energy. But your legs and arms alone are not enough for make a significant use of that orange energy. Besides it is too precious to be used just for muscles. What would be a benefit for the initiate is use that energy for a spiritual development. Meaning to transmute that raw energy into spiritual energy. Our brain is the organ which uses the most of body energies and etheric body energies. Therefore, we can use that energy in our brain for a spiritual purpose.

The transport of orange energies from the sacral chakra to the brain is possible with the practice of pranayama breathing exercises. So a constant practice of pranayama and meditation (use of the brain) is just enough to keep a constant circulation of orange energies.

Interesting post.
As some of you may know I run a small group and teach.
There are hundreds of chakras in our body. They are energy points and receptors, they all respond to light, colour, sound and other energies. the main chakras are the 7 chakras which run down the centre of our body. Our chakras are like a Lotus Blossom and are opening and closing gall the time. It is essential that we know how to open, close, cleanse and align our chakras. Many physical and mental conditions are caused by sluggish, or misaligned chakras. Reiki works through the Chakras and aura. ( am a Reiki practitioner)
Many courses teach people how to open their chakras, but very few teach how to close them, this also is essential. I teach both.
When your chakras are open you are susceptible too 'energy transfer' this is where someone else either consciously or not taps into your energy and absorbs it. Have you ever been in a crowded place and felt exhausted for no apparent reason? Energy transfer! You may also feel emotions or illness even because your chakras are open and absorbing negative energy from those around you. If you are going shopping even it pays to close your chakras.
we should take time to work with, and understand our chakras. Do exercises daily, if our chakras are not performing as they should, i.e. out of sinc, sluggish, out of line, etc. opening and closing each in turn, starting with the Root chakra and working up to the Crown will usually sort it out.
Just for interest here is a copy of the text which accompanies my practical course. I normally make a charge of £25.00 per head, but as the lesson is not requested, and I have sort of forced it on a distant audience, here it is. Anyone living close enough to me to attend the various courses and workshops can always contact me for details.According to Hinduism and Buddhism, a chakra means an energy point or node in the physical body. There are many chakras in the body through which the life force. Chi, or vital energy moves. These vast pools of energy govern the psychological qualities of a person.Among the several chakras, there are seven main chakras, four in the upper body that control the mental properties and three in the lower body that control the instinctual properties. These chakras are arranged vertically along the axial channel.Muladhara (Root Chakra)Svadhishthana (Sacral Chakra)Manipura (Solar Plexus Chakra)Anahata (Heart Chakra)Vishuddha (Throat Chakra)Ajna (Third-Eye Chakra)Sahasrara (Crown Chakra)The chakras are connected to a certain colour as well as with some part of our consciousness.A proper balance of all the chakras is important, as it contributes to a person’s well being.If the chakras are not balanced, peace with oneself cannot be achieved.Many times, some of the chakras are not open all the way, this is when you need to open the chakras. There are many ways to open and close our chakras, and what people don’t realise that sound is as important, if not more so than visualisation when working with energies. Sound is a form of energy, and a vibration, and as all matter and energy has a unique vibration then it is logical that sound will resonate better with other vibrations and energies.We are now going to look briefly at the eastern methods of opening chakras, this method is virtually the same in Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh meditations, so by using mudras, which are special hand positions that have the power to send more energy to particular chakras and specific sounds which when chanted cause a resonation in the body that can be felt at the chakra for which they are meant.Some schools say start from the top and work down, others say work from the bottom up, I prefer the latter as we build up from a foundation. So starting from the bottom;Muladhara, or the Root chakra, portrays the flower lotus with four petals. This chakra’s colour is red and it is located at the perineum, the base of the spine in the area of the coccyx.This chakra is concerned with instinct, security and survival and also basic human potentiality and the sense of smell.The Root chakra relates to the gonads and the adrenal medulla, which triggers the fight or flight response when survival is under threat.Those who are nervous or scared need open this chakra to induce the feeling of stability and security.How to open the Root chakra:Ground yourself by standing up straight and relaxed for several minutes.After grounding for several minutes, sit cross-legged if possible.Allow the tips of your thumb and index finger to touch gently, in a peaceful motion.Now, concentrate on the Root chakra and the colour red.Chant the sound “LAM”, silently yet clearly.Keep on taking deep breaths until you are completely relaxed.Svadhishthana, also known as the Sacral chakra, portrays a white lotus within which is a crescent moon with six vermilion or orange petals.This chakra is located at the lower abdomen, about two inches below the navel and two inches in. The colour of this chakra is orange.The Sacral chakra is concerned with emotion and represents desire, pleasure, sexuality, procreation and creativity.This chakra corresponds to the male testes or the female ovaries that produce the various sex hormones involved in the reproductive cycle. It is also related to, more generally, the genitourinary system and the adrenals.As this chakra controls your feelings and sexuality, by opening it you can learn to be open to people and be passionate about your relationship with your partner. Plus, an imbalance in this chakra can contribute to compulsive or impulsive behaviour.How to open the Sacral chakra:Sit on your knees, with your back straight but relaxed.Lay your hands in your lap, palms ups.Put the left hand underneath the right hand, with the left palm touching the fingers of the right hand.Allow the tips of the thumbs to touch gently.Now, concentrate on the Sacral chakra.Silently, yet clearly, chant the sound “VAM” until you are completely relaxed.Manipura, also known as the Solar Plexus or Navel chakra, is located at the upper abdomen in the stomach area, right in between your rib cage.The Solar Plexus chakra is symbolized by a downward-pointing triangle with 10 petals, along with the colour yellow.

So just by enacting your will alone, you can close down your chakras. But if you’re like most people, having a process or procedure can make things easier.One method is to visualize your chakras as flowers. You can see them as seven flowers forming a column from the base of your spine to the top of your head. You can even choose the corresponding chakra colour for each flower. For example, you could choose a red rose for your root chakra, an orange tiger lily for the sacral charka and so on. When you want to close your chakras, see the petals of the flowers coming together and closing. To open the chakras, simply see the petals opening.Another method is to visualize you chakras as camera eye shutters. Just like a camera eye adjusts to let different amounts of light in, you can adjust your chakra openings to let energy in. Play around with these methods and see what works best for you.Remember, your chakras are powerful vortexes of energy. Protect them well and they will protect you!Your chakras are always open, for the most part, but they may not be in optimal shape. I’ve seen chakras that are blocked, sluggish, over active, and out of alignment. These are all clues to psychical and spiritual health of people. But no matter how your chakras are right now, you can fix them.Here is a quicker and simpler way to open and close your chakras, you can use whichever you feel most comfortable with, or attracted to, it doesn’t really matter, but usually just the exercise of opening and closing will sort out any problems you may have.Beginning with the root chakra imagine a red ball of energy spinning in a clockwise direction around an imaginary pole going through your body from head to toe. Make the red ball of energy strong, clear, and powerful. Sometimes people let their chakras pulsate with energy, sometimes chakras look like spinning galaxies, and sometimes they are cylindrical instead of in the shape of a ball. All you’re really doing is activating the energy centre. It will feel like you’re imagining it at first, but don’t let that stop you. In time you’ll feel, see, or even hear a tonal sound when you spin your chakras. Repeat the process with your second chakra (orange) and all the way up to your crown chakra (white or violet).If you’re just going on about your day, imagine your chakras are the size of a ball, roughly 4 to 5 inches in diameter. Keep them inside your body, don’t let the light shine out of your body because your energy will touch the people with whom you come into contact. Now, if contact is your goal or if you’re doing psychic reading work, increase the power and size of your chakras so that they are 12 inches in diameter and spinning outside your body. Do not do this if you’re going out to work or the pub, or anywhere there are other people, you’ll end up picking up on other people’s negativity and bringing it home with you.When you’ve finished your energy work, simply imagine your chakras contracting to the 4-5 inch diameter size, which is where they should be most of the time. You can have them sit and pulsate instead of spin with power. Just use the spinning to clear them and activate them.One of the most important things to know about meditation, ironically, is that the ‘chakras’ should be consciously closed at the end. Yet, few people appear to understand this. The chakras naturally open during meditation or when people open up emotionally or spiritually, like in an intimate conversation. But they do not need to be open and, afterwards, they should be closed. We have to do this consciously. When we go out into the world, we unconsciously sense that it isn’t that safe and naturally close a bit, but not enough. Closing the chakras keeps one self-contained; sane, in other words. One can feel high, or buzzy, leaving them open but one can also become deluded. Negative people and spirits are likely to see our light, draw on our energy and influence us negatively.Usually any grounding exercise, just as basic as sitting having a drink and a biscuit will close your chakras to a ‘normal’ size, but sometimes it is necessary to consciously close your chakras for protection.Healing practices such as Reiki works through the energy centres, and so it is necessary to be able to sense the energy. We are now going to do a few practical exercises using a pendulum to find each others chakras and determine the health of them, I must stress that you will not be doing any healing of any kind and I will not be instructing you in healing methods as for the moment we are only interested in finding and feeling energy and understanding chakras. If anyone requests healing those of us qualified will be pleased to give healing at the end of the evening
